Ssf4 costumes discussion

No I like his main still more. It has made him the way he is now and not a boring hero like in final fight

Gouken’s new Alt should be Santa. No really, Santa. Look deep within your hearts, you know this to be true, it should be Santa.

Yeah, I like Final Fight and all but 80’s blue jeans, a wife beater, and trashy tattoos is not good design. Nostalgia is nice and all, but damn, take off those rose tinted glasses and see that shit for what it is.

Because a Hamburglar outfit is so dark and complicated :looney:

I personally have very mixed feelings in regards to Cody’s alt…

On one hand I like the idea of a modernized Final Fight outfit. I fully expected tattoos, especially considering that this game was made in Japan and tattoos are very strongly linked to the Yakuza in Japan. Also, as much as I would have preferred no tattoos at all, the tattoos he got aren’t that bad.

The only element that really bothers me is that he still has the handcuffs on… So far we haven’t seen a single move that uses the cuffs, so it doesn’t seem necessary to have them on…

However, if it turns out that he does have a move that uses the cuffs than I withdraw my remark. Also, there is still hope that the tenth version of his costume will be without cuffs (maybe without tattoos as well?).

Think that the nostalgia part is the thing that save his Alt.
Additions like tattos,the brass knuckles,the handcuffs are what ruin this outfit

This was perfect,a lil bit simple but imho better

Fei Long needs to look like the Green Hornet.

That is all.

Fei new alt IS like the Green Hornet,but without the hat and is sleeveless

That’s most likely the closest they were willing to get to Kato for fear of getting sued by the IP owner.

have they shown bisons new alt yet?

i’m still disappointed Rufus didn’t get Fei Longs first alt as his second alt :frowning:

I hope Sagat gets to wear a pirate hat, pirate Sagat would be cool. But, Capcom will probably give him long leggings or something odd/gay.

And now we have proof that deciding to rename Gouki into Akuma was a bad idea. Oni-Akuma - Devil-Demon. :wtf:

I think I’d like white t-shirt + jeans better than prison stripes even if Final Fight had never existed. Regular American Guy is a design that fits in with Karate Guy, Sumo Guy, Ninja Guy (ie Guy). I prefer that kind of design to anime-ish, design-y type designs like Viper and Juri. Besides, his main costume makes it look like they put him away for stealing Cookie Crisp.

By the way, it would be great if there was a compiled list in the OP post listing every character and pics for their new costume(s).

If you want something even funnier, running the kanji they sue for Akuma (at least in the Japanese tier list) through Google translate nets you “Australian Oni.”

Haha good point with the karate guys, I’ll give you that. Sumo and Ninja Guy are a stretch though.

Anyway, I think Cody’s alt would be much better if it were more like his original FF suit. Meaning, no wife beater and tattoos. Capcom seems to be going out of their way to make him look like trailer trash.

The list is

Ryu - Geese Howard style

Cody - Classic FF outfit but sleveless

Dee Jay - jamaican colours

El Fuerte - Aztec outfit (like mexicans in old SSF2 T.Hawk stage)

Ken - Cowboy outfit

Honda - a sub suit?

Fei Long - Bruce Lee’s Black Mask,but sleveless and without hat

Rose- elegant dress and one large hat

Dhalsim- Indian clothes,with a turban

Zangief- Mecha Zangief

Chun Li- Chinese dress,remind June from Plasma Sword

Balrog- sunglasses,different hairs,gold chains and gloves,white suit

Blanka - Saikyo outfit (tribute to Dan)

Dan- Jungle savage outfit (tribute to Blanka)

Rufus- Chinese Zombie (tribute to Hsien-Ko from Darkstalkers)

Cammy- Dictator style (tribute to M.Bison,she was created from his DNA)

C.Viper- tight futuristic suit

Seth- flames from some broken parts of his body (huge flames from the head,remind Gill’s hairs)

Still to see

Abel
Sagat
Gen
Vega
Bison
Guile
Sakura
Gouken
Akuma
Adon
T.Hawk
Juri
Guy
New unseen characters (Dudley,Ibuki,Makoto,Hakan)

Rufus’ is not necessarily a leilei tribute. The costume doesn’t really looks remotely close to hers. needs more cleavage.

It’s a joke about how Rufus is always hopping (dive kicks), Just like Chinese vampires.

Agreed there. You just know if he has another alt it’ll be something completely retarded, thereby blowing a golden opportunity. And they did so well with Guy y’know?

If he doesn’t have any moves that use the cuffs, he still stands and moves around like hes wearing them. If they took the cuffs off him he would look pretty stupid. Look at his animation and you’ll see what I mean.
